“Vini Jr. wanted to continue and I don’t think it was too serious. He tried and it was niggling him a little bit, so we made the decision to replace him. I don’t think he’ll play against Getafe and the break will help him to recover for when we play again,” Carlo Ancelotti said [via Madrid Universal].
Speaking on Vinicius Jr’s performance in the first 18 minutes of the game against Celta, Carlo Ancelotti said: “He had a good start to the game, he seemed unstoppable. It’s a shame. We found it more difficult without him, but also due to the fact that they played very well at the back.”
Real Madrid will be hoping the next Vinicius Jr injury update reveals that he has not sustained a serious injury. As aforementioned, he remains a key player for the club.
Vinicius Jr now joins Real Madrid’s injury list, which also features Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, who are also regular starters for the club.
